Biodiversity

Species richness varies by orders of magnitude across the globe and so does the richness of endangered species. We are interested in both the macroecological processes causing richness patterns, and the socioeconomic processes determining where biodiversity is threatened.

The DHIs calculated from 30-m Landsat for the conterminous US. The DHIs are shown as variation DHI in red, cumulative DHI in green, and minimum DHI in blue.

Mapping the Dynamic Habitat Indices using Landsat

Feb 2021 - Biodiversity - Conservation - Remote Sensing

To better understand avian species richness and abundance, Elena Razenkova is developing Dynamic Habitat Indices from Landsat data.

Winter Habitat Indices (WHIs) for biodiversity and conservation

Jan 2021 - Biodiversity - Conservation - Remote Sensing

David Gudex-Cross and Likai Zhu are developing new satellite-based indices of snow and frozen ground dynamics for winter biodiversity assessments and other conservation applications.
